• Netflix announced Monday it has acquired exclusive streaming rights to the “Breaking Bad” prequel spinoff, “Better Call Saul,” once it completes its run on AMC next year. The Los Gatos video-on-demand company said the new series would be available to its U.S. and Canadian subscribers immediately after the first season ends. In Europe and Latin America, however, Netflix will stream episodes a few days after they air.

Couric is expected to join Yahoo in early 2014. She’ll join a stable of high-profile reporters Yahoo has hired recently, including former New York Times tech columnist David Pogue and former Times political writer Matt Pai.

Intel’s set-top-box subscription service would have posed a challenge to traditional cable providers. Verizon may now pick up that baton and pose a similar challenge, adding OnCue to its existing pay-TV services.

Santa Clara-based Intel was said to be asking $500 million for OnCue in November, Bloomberg said, and the Verizon deal may be announced as soon as this week.

• 4K ultra-high-definition TVs were all the rage at this year’s CES, offering four times the resolution of current 1080p HDTVs. While prices have already dropped considerably, consumers have had one big problem: A lack of content filmed in 4K. Amazon is planning on changing that, announcing Monday that it would shoot all of its upcoming original streaming programming in 4K.

“We think customers are going to love watching these series in the highest resolution ever available to consumers and we can’t wait to deliver it.” Amazon Studios Director Roy Price said in a statement. Amazon is the first content provider to make the move to all-4K, which will require significantly more bandwidth for smooth streaming. Amazon may be looking at the long game; last month, DirecTV said it doesn’t expect to see 4K taking off until around 2016.
